FEvERIsH AND WEAK.
Fluctuations Confined within vory
Marrow Margin.

New YORK, July 9.-The stock market
retained the same general characteristics
to-day that II has shown throughout the
week, being feverlsh and weak throughout
almost the entire day. The professional
element predominated in the trading TO
larger extent than has been seen for some
time, there being little or no commission
business done, while London was apathetic
and the Chicago operations were confined
to Gales Of thegrangers. The traders rallied
the market from the opening almost to the
close and turned their attention TO the sub
stantial stocks, which have been remarks
bly, well held Of late.
Outside OF few stocks, however, the
fluctuations were confined TO fractions
only, and the trading, with the exception OF
one hour in the afternoon, was extremely
dull and llstless. The opening was irreg-
ular and dull, and though the market was
firm to strong during the first few minutes
II soon began to yield and remained fever
ish and unsettled, but generally heavy un-
I'll after p. M, prices at that time being
fractionally lower than the opening. The
great raid of the day then occurred, Read
Ing and Richmond and West Point being
conspicuously weak. Lowest prices were
touched about 2:30, from which there was
smart recovery, the close being dull, but
firm.
Everything but New England is lower
on the active list, Manhattan being down
2, New York Central, 10; Lackawanna and
Wheeling and Lake Erie, II; Louisville and
Nashville and Jersey Central, Ia; Union
Pacific and Colorado coal, per cent, and
the remainder fractional amounts.
Money on call has been easy, ranging
from to @, last loan at 4, and closing
offered at Q. Sterling exchange is dull and
steady. Actual business at 4S2i to 4s2i
for oO-day bills, aud 4s3a to ,st, as4
Government bonde have been dull aud
steady to firm. State bonds dull and steady.
